Brookdale

We chose Brookdale North Raleigh because we thought it was a good match for the age of my father and what he is capable of and what his needs are. It is a little more care than independent living. They just had renovations done so there is a pool, beauty salon, nursing care, and physical therapy which is all on site, you rarely ever have to leave the facility. My favorite part about the facility is the ongoing weekly communication from the director. He sends out a newsletter every week of what is going on inside the community to keep all families in the loop. This place feels like family and I do not have to worry about my dad.

We chose this community because my mother wanted a pool and they have a pool here. The room sizes are pretty good, but it is enough for her. She does not care so much for the food, she says there is not a lot of seasoning and not a lot of variety on the menu. She has the option of fixing her own meals, but she does eat some of the meals provided here. The staff members are good at communicating. If anything is wrong they always call me right away and inform me of what is going on. They keep me in the loop and they send me emails on what is going on inside the community. I would absolutely recommend this community. I have actually thought about moving in this community with my mother.

We chose Brookdale Lawndale because of the location, but we also liked the atmosphere, it is more bright and upbeat. The room sizes are good, my mom has a single room and it is plenty large enough for her. I have eaten here and everything I have had has been good. They have options if the residents do not want the main course that is provided. For example you can always get a soup, sandwich, or salad. I would recommend this facility.

Cheap Prices and discounts compared to what is out there for senior living. Its a comfortable place for my family to be at and they feel just as though they are at home. Staff are nice and friendly and food is good.

We think this is very clean, but we have not been back to this community in about 6 months. Some activities they had before COVID were concerts, exercise classes, and they would take the residents out on small outings. We were recommend to this community by the nursing staff that previously took care of my mother. The rooms are about average sized. We ate with our mother and the food is about average, it could be improved. Our mother complains about the food regularly. At the beginning of COVID the residents weren't allowed to eat in the dining rooms, they were being served their meals in their rooms, however they have now started allowing the residents to eat in the dining rooms which are very nice looking. The staff is very nice and very friendly.

Anytime I have a question I ask and they will let me know the answer. I would highly recommend it to friends. The food is good and my loved one enjoys it. My loved one was diagnosed with COVID and made quick response with getting her to the hospital and the transition back to the community. The communication to the family was wonderful during the transitions. The director is [name removed]. Anytime there is a question he makes himself available.

We chose Brookdale Harrisonburg because of the value for your money and my wife and I really enjoyed the tour. The location is great as well for our whole family. They try everyday to keep the residents engaged as much as possible while keeping them safe with COVID. They have done a great job of keeping COVID out of the building. They have been so far ahead of the curve with this virus, I cannot speak highly enough about them. My favorite part about the community has been the way that everyone embraced my mom when she came in here. Not only the staff but the residents, they treated her like a new friend and included her in everything. They made her feel at home and comfortable. Every time I talk to her she tells me how much she loves it here.

We haven't been there since COVID, but days before our loved one moved in we were able to see the community and it was very clean. You were greeted with friendliness and cleanness when you entered this community. The staff always had smiles on their faces and was always active with the residents. Our loved one was in the memory care unit, and we received pictures from the staff of him eating, so we knew our loved one was well taken care of. We have no complaints about Brookdale, we cant say enough about community.

This community was so clean and the staff was amazing, it was a little expensive but it we paid for what we got. The care services were wonderful, our loved one was taken care of very well especially during COVID. The activities they had were painting class, all kinds of arts and crafts, they had exercise classes, and entertainment groups come in and do sing a longs as well bingo. One thing that really stood out to us was the fact that all the staff members seemed to really care about every resident, they were very kind to everyone. They had big rooms, the entire community was a big circle shape which made it very easy for residents to go out and walk around.

3875+ Lovely place and friendly but I think my parents will want more room (like a separate bedroom with doors) and it's too expensive compared to the other two I visited.

One thing that really stood out to us was the friendliness of the staff, and the overall homey feeling the community had. The rooms are good they are clean and have a welcoming feeling to them. The food was pretty good for the most part.

The staff is amazing. they are always helpful and appreciative. The food is amazing as well. It is always fresh and nutritious. I cant say enough about the special way this facility treats their residence and their families. Love them to pieces.

They have a 1:7 ration for nurses to residents in the memory care unit. They are trying to do one on one activities. The community is like a family, everyone is very friendly and caring. It is a good place to be if you have to go somewhere.

We picked Brookdale Vestal West because it was the cleanest, friendliest, and the staffing was amazing. Even with COVID, they are the best. They keep the residents interested and moving every day of the week. They do morning exercises, they have entertainers come into the yard, water-coloring, gardening, BINGO, yoga, etc. The rooms are very spacious. I have eaten here and it is great, they have a chef downstairs and he cooks fresh foods. They serve snacks during the day and at night. My favorite part about this community is the care she is receiving and knowing she is being looked after. I am very happy I picked Brookdale.

Everyone at this community is super nice, they really do take care of everyone. The food is great, its very tasteful and presented very nicely. What really stood out to us when we first visited was the overall friendliness of the staff

We looked at 5 communities and Brookdale Liverpool was the one. Brookdale is one floor and a smaller community, only about 40-50 residents here which makes it very homey. Everyone here is also very friendly. My mom loves children and it is by a school, so we picked a room so she can see the children play on the playground. The room my mom is in is good sized for one individual. We have eaten here and I found the food to be very tasty, it is not super fancy but they are nutritious meals and you have a lot of choices. They have kept the residents busy even during COVID, they are bringing activities to them. They have video games, exercise classes, movies, crafts, music outside in the garden etc. They even take them out on trips before COVID. My favorite part about this community has been the friendliness of the staff. Also we love that it is small and very clean. I would definitely recommend, if I lived in the states and I needed this care, I would choose something like Brookdale.

My sister and I have this conversation often and we feel comfortable about placing my loved one there. The other reason is that my loved one is happy and she's made friends. I found out that my loved one is participating in the exercise class, and she plays cards. The socialization will be better after COVID restrictions I had a nurse tell me that this community was the best one, and have seen the same. The people that work there, and told the director that there is one individual that treated my loved one and helped her through the loss of her partner.

It exceeds our expectations! Now just trying to figure out if we can afford them! Mom and Dad love it, and can't wait to move in. Finances look like they will be a real issue, even with Dad being a combat Vet.

We chose Brookdale because it is close and easy to get to, but also I liked the set up. The rooms were bigger compared to others we had seen. It was also less expensive compared to a couple others we saw. My mother has had no complaints about the food. When they have had bigger gatherings before COVID, the food was good. I would recommend this community.

When I look through the window and my mother-in-law has OCD hasn't complained at all. The only thing we would tell a friend is to be aware of the alacart and the items add up quickly and they don't tell you that at the beginning. My mother-in-law has been thrilled to have bingo back. They still have puzzles, painting We have a weekly face time call with her, and her granddaughter also has a weekly face time call with her. It is highly encouraged to call. My mother-in-law is thriving in the environment.
